Whilst on holiday on January 1st two friends decided to dress up their sons
as miniature monks whilst visiting the Er Fo Temple in Hechuan, Chongqing,
seizing the opportunity to take some truly brilliant photos of the pair
venturing through the peaceful and tranquil location. Aged 1 and 3 the oldest
boy's father, Zhou Lu, was well prepared with his camera at the ready.

After the photos were shared online the two boys quickly became online
sensations thanks to their tiny matching outfits featuring traditional garbs and
prayer beads, completing the look that's earned the adorable duo the the
nickname "cutest young monks.

Being an adult is tough and there’s no unsubscribe link. Luckily, you can go
back in time with these adorable photos by Japanese photographer Kotori
Kawashima. He followed his friend’s 4-year-old daughter from a rural Japanese
village to Paris, while she was discovering the world.

Kawashima released a whole book called “Mirai Chan” featuring the rosy-cheeked
girl in 2011. The book was an instant success in Japan and earned the
photographer the Kodansha Publishing Culture Award Photos Award in the same
year.

So take a break from your unanswered emails and let this bubbly girl walk you
down memory lane. She might teach you a thing or two.
